The minute you rehab you have to have a fund to replace it.

Instead of taking the depreciation over the standard number of years, you send in an army of qualified professionals and they go and look at each part of the building and make a guess at how many years each component has.

Review after a year to see what is working and what is not and refocus if you need to or add another niche or replace one.Typically your best resource is your network...so friends, family, school mates, past work mates...people who know, love, and trust you.

We are replacing our:-oven and stove top ( with coils )-range hood-refrigerator-washer-dryer-dishwasherWe are looking for stainless steel, reliable and cheap!

I'm looking for a contractor to repair/replace a few floor joists.

I have a working condition tub that seems to be peeling (view photo) I want to avoid replacing it because it seems to be stucked to the wall so the removing part will be very hard and I was wondering if anyone had experience improving the looks of it or if there's a workaround.

A very important component is this gets the listed unit rents at full market instantly, so if/when there is a vacant unit you wont have the mess of some tenants way under market making it years until you get to full.

The house was 5 years old at the time of purchase: replaced all door (multiple had holes punched in), new appliances, installed a patio, and ceiling fans, laid new gravel, and security front door.
